Let's talk about a topic that we all can relate to "women". So today is "international women's day", to you what does that mean the word woman? To me it means confidence, strength, and woman power. Growing up I had a lot of women in my life that were amazing and still are examples in my life. My mom grew up in a predominantly female house, so my poor uncle had 4 older sisters. As women society holds us to a very high standard back in the day women were meant to stay at home and take care of the house and the children. Working women back then was very few and far between and those that did work were and even today are still fighting for equality among the men. To me we have all the same rights nothing should be limited or withheld. As a woman in God's eyes we are loved and cherished sure Eve was the first and she messed up but that didn't mean she was loved any less. Let's talk about confidence as a woman, we are and can be in everything that we say and do. And I don't mean like showing off but rather humbly expressing that yes we can do things but in the best ways that we can show it. My mom and my sister are amazing examples of how a woman should be. Humble in their actions and always lifting others up when it's needed. For me myself I sometimes hate being a woman for a lot of reasons but God reminds me that there are so many great things that I can do as a woman. So let's celebrate women who we are and those in our lives. Because let's be honest we're a pretty cool group of humans there will be more to discover and celebrate in due time.

Often times we find ourselves looking in the mirror saying "I'm not good enough" or "I'm not pretty/handsome enough". When did we start really looking and criticizing ourselves? ALL THE TIME!!! I myself struggle to accept who I am when I look in the mirror I sometimes think. "I am ugly" "I hate my scars that come from many falls and I can be clumsy to where I bruise up and scrape my skin easily. Even to say "I don't like my face". It's a battle that I deal with on the daily because socially growing up I was really awkward. Yes I had friends and classmates that I hung out with at school and sometimes after school but still it was awkward for me. I also think that's partially the introvert in me, also I think that's also why I have a hard time with going the to gym it's super awkward. Also I have the terrible habit of saying...
